THE MUSLIM SUNRISE NEWS SUPPLEMENT FIRST AHMADIYY MAJLIS-E-SHURA USA For the first time in America, the Ahmadiyya Jamaat will hold a "Majlis-e- Shura" or Advisory Counsel session, which will be part of the 1972 annual convention. In Pakistan, every year in April, Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih convenes a coun- cil of the Ahmadiyya delegates for consultation on vital matters of the com- munity. In this way the Ahmadies are given a chance to offer helpful sugges- tions that may increase and improve the work of Jamaat. We will follow this example in America this year, and hold our first "Majlis-e-Shura. " Out of this meeting we hope may come ideas for the solution of our most pressing prob- lems. The specific projects to be dealt with by this Majlis-e-Shura will each be placed in the hands of a committee. The following Committees will be select- ed: School Committee Mosque Building Committee Mosque Financial Committee Tabligh, Publication and Publicity Committee Wasiyyat Committee Qadian Service Committee The committee sessions will begin after the Juma prayers on Friday.
